Ice Age Village Reviews

by Btaub

I had to switch devices and the game didn’t carry over to my new device! After playing this game for years, we have to start all over again! Definitely not playing again. Not putting the time and energy in this game. If I could give it negative stars, for SO many reasons, it deserves it! We’ve been playing this game for years. First with my daughter and now with my grandson. It’s a great game but it takes a long time to build up your animals, coins, acorns, and friends.
If you’re going to play this game, you should know that you need to find Scrat in each of your friends because you can also get acorns from Scrat too, not just the Hydrax Tree! It’s important to add friends daily if you’re just starting to play the game.
There’s a lot of issues that the developers need to work on.
There haven’t been expansions in years, which causes difficulties for players that’s been playing the game for so long. Acorns are far and few between on the Hydrax Trees. Developers say it’s random how they’re given out, 41-61. But if you go through several trees and get minimal acorns, I would think there’s a glitch. That’s my opinion, especially when those friends haven’t been collected from before.
This game is fun for all ages. Be prepared for kids to want a gift card to purchase items for this game! Advice, tell them to play the game and work for acorns!

I use my phone on standard view. When I go to open IceAgeVillage I immediately get a notification saying that IceAgeVillage doesn’t support zoomed view. Because I’m not in zoomed view I figured it was a standard notification everyone got, so I waited on the blue opening screen until the game suddenly crashed. I tried this multiple times - same issue. I finally attempted to switch to zoomed view on my phone to see if that made a difference. I didn’t get the notification and the game started up immediately. Unfortunately it was unplayable because yes, the game doesn’t support zoomed view.
So in conclusion - this is impossible to play.

I downloaded this in hopes to mess around with an amazing movie meets addictive hay day themed app. In return, I launched it and it gave me a notification saying “ IceAgeVillage does not support zoom view. Go to settings and change it to standard view.” So I went to settings, only to find that I had standard view ALREADY ON. Then I got to thinking, maybe if I change it to zoom view then back it will work. It didn’t. Soon after, I launched IceAgeVillage with the zoom on, that it said it didn’t work with, and to my surprise it got to the loading screen, then the game! But, it was only another disappointment, as everything in the game was all funky because it was zoomed in. Long story short, when I launched IceAgeVillage with the correct functions, it told me they were wrong and did not even load, and when I used the wrong one, it loaded but was all messed up. Please fix your software people, it shouldn’t be that complicated.

The limited time offerings are never loading no matter how many times I try to re-enter this game, while the buy acorn for real money events are always there no matter what, what do you expect the players paying you money for if none of the limited time offerings are loading due to glitches? In addition, the Goals given by the NPCs are totally ridiculous, you pay thousands of times more to complete a Goal than the rewards given after you complete it. This is a pay to play game that only cares about scamming more money from players, with an utter lack of respect of player experience, play and give this garbage money if you want to simulate yourself being treated like a slave, BYE!

About 10 years ago I logged into this game every day for a year. It was amazing back then. I redownloaded it recently and… why does everything take so long? I get it, you can’t have someone create a village, and within a month already have everything unlocked. But good lord, I’ve been playing for a week, using strategy to time everything with the breeding and leveling up families, and if you think about it, you could play this game for a year straight, phone plugged in, tapping away, and not even be half way through everything. And the purchasing system is unbelievably greedy for an app. 2500 acorns for $100 REAL dollars. That’s literally no acorns. You could blow through that in less than a minute, not an exaggeration. So it’s not even pay-to-win, because you’d have to blow about $10,000 dollars to get anywhere in the game. If you want to waste a year of your life, this is the game for you. Also, level 30 to unlock Dino world is ridiculous, make it level 10. Also also, the goals… don’t even get me started on the goals… you have no idea how infuriating it is when they ask you to buy something you already have, so then you have 2 of that item. If there was just one bad thing, I’d continue to play the game, but when it’s 5 major problems, I ain’t wasting my time with it.

Update: Got a new iPad and naturally the game did not carry over - which I expected. What annoys me (and I dropped another star as a result) is that it can’t seem to decide when I have gone in every day! STILL! It either tells me I have to pay to continue or I go back to the start. I logged in yesterday evening - it wanted me to pay. I logged in this am and I guess it doesn’t consider this another day because it did not pop the window for daily bonus at all. I’ll give it another few days but if this keeps up - DONE FOR GOOD.

Big fun. Even more if you are a fan of the Ice Age films! UPDATE-DON'T DO IT AFTER THE UPDATE I CAN'T LAUNCH IceAgeVillage !!!!!!!! Update- took a while and I'm able to play again but I'm dropping my stars for how they are now calculating if I play every day. I played yesterday at 5:30am, didn't play last night and today at 7:20am they say I have to pay 9 acorns to stay at the reward for the number of days played because for some reason they don't think I played yesterday! I don't know what method they use but it should be based on local time on my iPad! I've paid it one too many times and I'm over it! Their bogus timekeeping has me back to maybe I will play when I feel like it. :-/

I had lost my original game transferring to a newer iPad and I had to start over. Now at level 53 I lost my mystery box. I have all the other stuff, frenzy packs, special items but the mystery box is gone.
I had put in a help request but haven’t gotten a response from support.
I’m afraid to uninstall it because that’s how I lost my last game and I don’t want to start all over again for the third time.
Another issue is that the one on my phone doesn’t get the same features as my iPad, I had a whole circus and Mardie grae theme that I lost but was never offered on the phone. I don’t understand why two different devices wouldn’t get the same options.

So u used to have this game on my old iPhone and it worked perfectly and it was amazing and now I just tried to get it again and it told me it can only use zoomed in version so u had to change my screen to zoomed and I did and it was VERY zoomed in and I couldn't see anything and the animals were in the water and it was bad. So sadly I have to delete it again and I was just wanting to play it again so if u could like fix that please. Other than that thus game is very addicting and fun to play.

by Angel Pinion

I really like this game and I even got my mom to get the game, and she loves it too. But it's aggravating that the price gets higher each piece of land you buy. It's the same size of land you're buying so it shouldn't cost more. And a thing I think y'all should do is have each member that gets IceAgeVillage and the people who have IceAgeVillage already, to sign up. Because I've had this game before on my old phone and when I got IceAgeVillage again on my new phone, I had to restart all over again. So it would be nice if the price could be same for each piece of land and you could have us sign up and login so we never have to restart again. Besides that, it's an amazing game and it's addicting.

by Greene Eyes

I love this game, I try others but always come back to this. You can play for hours, there's only one thing I don't like and that's they always want so much for most of the animals and then more then half you need to use hard earned money. I don't know why these people who do this game always are money hungry , seems everyone would be a lot happier if they bought the prices down a lot so people like me on tight fixed incomes can buy these animals and things. And they would still make their money because more people would buy these items .,if they did that I would give them 5 stars but for that reason they only get 4 stars.

by GrandmaOf4+2

Ok I normally give this game a 5 star but l just can’t do it this time. I can’t even play all my game. I can’t even get ahold of you to tell you because the game will not let me. Here is the problem. I can do anything l want in the game until l go to do something else and l get the spinning wheel like it is thinking about letting me do what l want but just will not get there. It does exactly not matter what the action is l want to do or was doing beforehand. The Grandkids and I truly enjoy this game, even if, for some reason we don’t get to play the mini games, for a very long time now. We have worked hard to get to the level we are at and l keep the game up so when the get to play they can have fun. Will you please fix this bug because this is a very fun game for kids of all ages. Love it when l can play it. Still think if you are thinking about this game please give it a try and just give it time and when you get it going you will see it is fun just hang in there and it moves a lot faster after level 21 and go add friends they will add you if you go look at there Village and collect harts. Thank you! Fix please.

It's a pretty cool app my dudes. Ice Age is one of my favorite movies and it puts a smile on my face when I see other people enjoy it. My only problem is that there's some unnecessary advertisements and the characters from the 5th movie don't seem to be in IceAgeVillage. Also, you can get the purple dinosaur from the second movie (It is called "Metri" or something in IceAgeVillage), but the teal one is currently unavailable! I might not be the level to unlock it or maybe it was a limited event thing, but I would LOVE it if you bring him back.

I remember when I was younger playing this game a lot on my old Kindle, and it was extremely fun. Now that I’m returning to it at 17 I’m just being hit with a wave of nostalgia along with oh wave of excitement. I downloaded it yesterday and I’m just now completing the first mammoth family ( in 2 to 1 it’s after writing this review the Mammoth should be ready to hatch)Meaning I’m about to have six complete families, however I did notice one thing while playing controls on the phone are much different from what I remember it on the Kindle. It’s kind of difficult at times to collect stuff. I feel like that’s just an issue with the Touch sense though, I do actually have a suggestion for the game which is adding a collect all feature for when you get a lot of animals. What I could do is basically just collect the coins and feed the animals. It wouldn’t affect the mini games or snow piles. I don’t know how balanced that would be but I think it would be a nice ad for when you get a lot of animals and you have to click through all the habitats in order to collect and feed them

by Rockinmominator

I've been playing the game for several years now and have loved it from the beginning. It was always fun getting new critters or Fun things, achieving quests, or building my coins. But without the updates, it's become boring. I've hit the limit on the number of coins that I can accumulate and there are no new animals. Also some of the issues that Gameloft promised to fix before they stopped supporting the game have never been fixed. And even though the game says that the highest level is 148, there are lots of people who have leveled up above that. I won't spend real money on a game that isn't supported and I'm sure that others won't as well. I'm glad that Ice Age Village is still here, but I don't play it as much as I used to.

by Arctic Wonderland

Great fun moving colorful family habitats around. Only problem is the waiting time for some of the larger families to hatch.
I enjoyed the first 2&1/2 yrs playing this game BUT the 2015 app revision has 10 to more than ?levels to upgrade EACH animal! I know you get larger bonus stars to increase your village rating and change the Avitar symbol as you increase the animal levels. But during a contest if you increase a level on an animal you can't collect the coin value until the time for that level is reached. Unless you pay 100 acorns to collect and about 5 or more acorns to collect more coins once you unlock the level, if this makes sense. But I still enjoy the challenges and the Scrat game gives more acorn rewards now. I wonder how many levels some of the animals will have, 100?I miss the updates and agree with mominator it isn't as fun without new challenges. I have reached my limit on coin collections. But I still like to arrange scenes for the seasons. IceAgeVillage is relaxing. :)

Game is not bad but for the animals you are supposed to collect as part of the collection, several of them say they are "no longer available" so you are not able to complete the collection which is frustrating. You also have to wait several days to level up animals so the game a lot of waiting around. Game was a lot more fun in the beginning at the lower levels but now at the higher levels there doesn't seem to be much you can do unless you pay for large packages of acorns.

by Tdk3111

They make it too hard to communicate with the company. I just wanted to report none of the Halloween animals came up so they could be purchased. But to send a message, they want, make, model, serial number, etc, etc, etc, and my iPad wasn’t one of their choices so it wouldn’t let me go further. And they did away with their forum so can’t get answers that way either. I want to ask them to take my last acorn purchase back and refund my money as I bought in anticipation of Halloween specials. And yes, I closed out my game and reopened to reset. Oh well.

I have had this game almost from the beginning. Now it has done nothing new in months. Have all families, tons in storage, with no room for them. I have played only to collect money and visit maybe once a month. When will we get some new content, land and some space to put everything. Some of the lands I visit are so tightly packed that you can not find nothing. I have also been leveling up my family’s, very expensive. Lady Cat 777

This game is fun but I’m still seeing Easter stuff. Also There are not enough acorns going around. I have a lot of money but that’s no use when you can never complete a task that requires you to spend acorns.... I like not having to buy anything in IceAgeVillage but if y’all do give us a more reasonable chance at winning acorns... tasks won’t be completed and this game will be delete because I’m not playing for acorns.

by 29rats

There are too many items that you can only buy with acorns or real money. If you aren’t willing to spend money on this game it can take a lot time to get acorns and improve your village to its full capacity. Also characters walking around your village will sometimes block you from being able to move things around and you have to wait till they walk away which is annoying.

by Borderzoi

I can spend loads of time on this game. Lots of fun rearranging & redesigning. Only complaint I have is there needs to be more land available in both worlds. Also, what's the point Of collecting from families if you don't gain anything. After a while you can have just so many of an item there's no use for more. It would also be nice to see some new items & animals.

by Mspiglet63

I have bought acorns and have 4 of every single animal there is. And 100’s of decorations. I haven’t been able to buy land in a very, very long time. I feel the game should be fixed to purchase more land, no matter what the problem is. If I knew before I spent money on this game, that I couldn’t buy enough land to decorate along with all the animals, I wouldn’t had NEVER started playing this game!!!! Everything else is great. PLEASE PLEASE fix the issues, so I can purchase more land!!!

Ice Age Village is a great game (as the title implies)! The game kind of starts before the 4th Ice Age movie "Continental Drift" and then later in the game, it kind of starts to go through some of the stuff like in the movie. While this game does have a few glitches (there have been reports of your village being erased accidentally, but that hasn't happened to me, nor a lot of other people), this game is still awesome and I highly recommend it. Please note that there are some in-app purchases you can make in this game, so be careful you don't accidentally buy something that costs real money.

P.s. I have three villages and all three of then are named "Shira's Shelter". If there is more than three villages with this name, then some of the others are someone else's village.

P.p.s. My nickname on Game Center is Shae Vizla.

I play this game everyday, I don’t know it is but it’s so addicting fun and satisfying. It’s also really cute. One thing I really love about ice age village, is that you don’t have to pay to win. They make a lot of things possible to get without spending your money. What separates this game from others is that you can easily get lots of coins and acorns and unlock hundreds of items, WITHOUT SPENDING A DIME. It doesn’t get boring because there is constantly stuff to unlock and mini games to play. I love my cute little village I’ve worked so hard on. I recommend this game to EVERYONE!!

by Maxy 011

This game is so much fun! The only problem is that now that I am on level 97, I have unlocked lots of things that take a really long time to load. When I say a long time, I mean REALLY long (a few of the items took 9 - 10 HOURS!!!) I don't want to waste my acorns of making them load instantly (I have worked very hard to get them, my parents won't let me buy in-app purchases) so I end up going and exing out the game and playing something else. During the time it loads, I do lots of things and go to bed. Once I wake up there is a glitch that makes the items reload once I go back in. So, all I'm saying is to reduce the amount of time it takes the items to load, beacause I don't like having to wait a whole day. Otherwise, this is a great game! I truly recommend it! 😁

by Ehrmantraut04

I got this game a little while ago, I fell in love, just hit level 25. This game is so fire but one little thing that consistently triggers me everytime is when I’m going to click on a path or decoration or anything and your map is filled with little animals walking around that do an animation when tapped which prevents you from selecting what you want. I’d love if there was a way to make them go ghost mode or hide the characters that walk around my map. Other than that and not having any available ads In the theater this game is perfect.

by Tootmusle

You don’t get the idea? So this is a village/community we have to create, right? And then us, the game community, is, well, a community! And the special thing is that you are a part of this community and that shows you love the game like all of us! If the Ice age movie creators were here, they would love the game too! So it’s not the digital village. Our community is called the Ice age Indians (the name I came up with) and I love this game! If you want to part with us, download the game now!

by Sports3784

This is probably my favorite game that I’ve ever played. It seems boring at first, but if you have good taste in games, you WILL NOT regret playing it. It has so many cool items that you can fill your village with and what makes it even better is the fact that I LITERALLY grew up on this movie. It’s honestly hard to explain how great the game truly is but if you play it, you’ll understand what I’m trying to say. Please play the game, I promise you won’t regret it and you’ll even be supporting the company.
